I have a plumbing emergency, what should I do?
What should you do when you find a plumbing emergency? Safety first! If there is water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the immediate first step is to switch off the power at the breaker box. Then, attempt to reduce any more leaking or flooding.
A lot of appliances and fixtures have taps that you can turn off. For example, the toilet will have a valve below or beside the cistern. If you can’t locate a valve, or that doesn’t stop the leak, then turn off the mains tap to stop all the water to the house.
Once that is sorted, give us a call, no matter what the day or time is. We will be with you shortly to fix the leak.
While you are waiting for the plumber to arrive, remove any important things close to the leak, and clean up any water or put a bucket to catch any drips. If you have turned the mains water off, switch off the heating for the hot water as well.
Help! How do I turn off the water!
You may know the main valve as a stopcock, isolating valve or toby. This valve is found on the property perimeter close to the road, typically under a blue or black plastic cover.
It is also called an isolating valve, toby or stopcock.
We realise a clogged drain can be a serious problem. Whether it’s the laundry sink, the toilet, or the gully trap beside the house, a clogged drain is never a good thing. That’s why our crew of emergency plumbers are waiting to solve your plumbing emergency.
Obestructed pipes can be a major health risk, especially when sewage is involved. Sometimes you can unclog it on your own with a plunger and some can-do attitude. If you do not have a plunger, our emergency plumbers can arrive quickly to get the drains unclogged.
Whether it is the bathroom sink that won’t empty, or a blockage in the shower, or worse yet, sewage running down the hall or across your yard, our same day Varsity Lakes plumbers will quickly locate the issue and repair it so that life can get back to normal.
With our well equipped vans, we have everything we require available to fix almost all drain obstructions right then and there. If there is an underlying issue that needs extra equipment or parts, we can put a temporary solution in place to get you through until the final repairs are completed.
I have a plunger, can I unblock it myself?
If you have a plunger, it's worth trying to unblock a clog yourself. We suggest a plunger with a long handle, especially for the toilet, so you can stay out of the splash zone. Chemicals are not suggested as they seldom work well and can cause damage to the drains.
Do not let blocked drains ruin your day. Ring our after hours Varsity Lakes emergency plumbers right away!
We generally take having hot water for granted, until it is not working properly. Time to put mucky kids in the shower? Want a good soak to warm up following a freezing day? Got a pile of of dishes to take care of? It’s a pain to have a proper clean up when the water is lukewarm.
When the hot water isn’t giving you that happy feeling, you want it repaired fast. Whether the heating element has blown, the thermostat is unreliable and the water is luke warm or boiling hot, there’s a leak, or the tank is constantly overflowing, you want it sorted as fast as possible so your life can get back to normal.
Leaks in your hot water system can cost a huge amount, and may cause serious damage to your house. If you have an electric cylinder, hot water heating often accounts for about thiry percent of the average home’s power bill, so a leak can cause significant damage to your pocket very swiftly.
When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there’s a leak in the hot water system, call our Varsity Lakes emergency plumbers straight away. We’ll get the hot water flowing again quickly. If you find a lot of water leaking, turn off the water at the mains tap, and also switch off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.
If your cylinder is not able to be overhauled, our friendly team can help pick the best option for your household needs, budget and location. If your whole system is old and worn out, our plumbers can organise repairs at a time that suits you as well.
The pipes in your house are a normally concealed but key part of your daily activities. Large or small, in the earth, within the wall or the ceiling, they carry clean water to you and take the unclean stuff away.
Ususally we barely even think of them. Not until thre is a problem, and suddenly you are standing in a pool of water, or even worse, sewage. And now you urgently need it fixed asap, to prevent damage to your home, furnishings and health.
Our emergency plumbers are set to be there quickly, so call our team as soon as you discover a burst pipe or leak of any kind. You can reduce further leaks by turning the water to the property off at the mains tap if required.
How did my pipe burst?
There are a variety reasons why pipes and taps might fail. If you reside in a extremely cold region, the pipes may have frozen and burst. They might simply be old and worn out. They may not have been installed properly when the home was built. Tree roots can force open underground junctions.
Once they arrive, our same day plumber will diagnose the problem and promptly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also examine the rest of the pipework if required to look for other issues.
Do you own a broken faucet? A faucet that drips all night, leaks or perhaps is doing a fountain impression?
We’ve seen a range of tap issues over the years, and know that even a small drip can sound like someone tap dancing in your sink in the small hours when the rest of the world is asleep. What was a minor irritant, can all of a sudden be a major plumbing emergency.
Not only is the sound irritating, but a dripping or leaking tap can raise your bills through the roof, especially if it is the hot water. Do not waste money and possibly cause long term damage to your residence, call our team now.
From replacement washers to completely new faucets and taps, our on call plumbers have everything they need in the vans to remedy that leak. We carry a small selection of basin and sink taps to pick from if you need a replacement, or can install a temporary one if needed.
From large to small, our Varsity Lakes emergency plumbers can fix any plumbing crisis. Not just taps, we provide a wide range of emergency and day to day plumbing services.
How can I stop the dripping sound temporarily so I can get some rest?
Find a length of string of some kind, and tie it onto the tap aerator so that it hangs down to the base of the skink or basin. The drips will run down the twine and trickle off quietly.
